Abstract
At the time of writing, the COVID-19 Pandemic has dominated most people’s lives throughout the better part of the last two years. This paper seeks to explain hesitancy in vaccination rates among the 50 US states. To do this, we use both a simple and multiple linear regression model to uncover the relationship between median income and the vaccination rate of a state. In my research, I could not find any previous literature that analyzed this relationship, but the results verify previous research into social factors that explain vaccination rates. A positive correlation between median income and vaccination rates is hypothesized and confirmed by this paper.
